| Hello, thanks for the email of 22nd May. If you look in your inbox there is now a reply. Have been catching up with correspondnce following an evening engagement. I am pasting an abbreviated response here (actual one includes more detail on the Government’s policy of supporting the culling of badgers to address the issue of bovine TB): I am getting hundreds of these so aiming to reply to them all in consistent fashion but this does take time. Dear Claire, Thank you for your email. Please bear with me as I get systems up and running. I have as yet no staff or been allocated an office so this is me replying. In the Labour 2015 manifesto we said (on page 57) “we will build on our strong record on animal welfare - starting with an end to the Government’s ineffective and cruel badger cull.’ On the hunting ban we will strenuously oppose any attempt by this Government to repeal the Hunting Act, which was on the Labour government's proudest acheivements. Rest assured I find all bloodsports immoral and repugnant. My apologies that you did not get an autoreply acknwoledgement. I will investigate why this is the case. Yours sincerely, Rupa Huq MP |
